Biggest irony of the old 747s: half of the lighting didn't work, there was no seat back entertainment at all -- but the ashtrays worked!
I'll take an old A340 to Europe any day.

I flew the final (passenger) flight on an AA L-1011 into DFW way back. It was a regularly scheduled service, and they announced it in the cabin. I was like, "Why would they tell us that?" I can't think of any benefit to the passengers from hearing that. But I guess it was a different time.
